Council Banner Incentive
As you know, men are waiting to be invited to join the Knights of Columbus. In 2023, we commissioned a study that showed there are about 7 million men willing to join organizations like the Knights of Columbus. They haven’t joined yet because they haven’t been asked. These men are in your parishes. In the same pews you sit in. Jesus called the disciples to follow him and become fishers of men. Now, it’s our turn to become fishers of men and extend the hand of brotherhood.

Every council that achieves 125% or more of its annual Membership Quota between March 1 - June 30 will receive their choice of a new customized council banner or customized Cor banner and Cor resources for parish promotion.* If your council’s annual goal is 8, then 125% of that is 10…if you bring in 10 new or readmitted members between March 1 – June 30…you win!
Resources to help your councils extend invitations to men in their parishes are available for download and ordering through Supplies Online. Log into Supplies Online, scroll to “Featured Items,” and click on the “Fishers of Men” catalog.
